Former WWE Superstar Mojo Rawley recently revealed that he did not know he was being drafted until his name was actually called back in 2016.
Speaking on Shoot Conversations with Chris Hero, Rawley said, “I found out when my name was called. I was drafted late. Honestly, I was hoping I was going to be the last pick in the draft because there’s a lot I could have done with that promo-wise. They drafted me individually, so I didn’t know if that meant I was going to be with Zack or if we were going to be split. At that point, I felt like it was so overdue. I don’t want to sound like a snob or anything, but it’s like, they told us a month or two in NXT with Broski and we’re getting called up, and it came about a year after that. For me, it was kind of ridiculous because I spent more time on the main roster for months. I already felt like I was out of NXT because I was literally only there to do TV.”
It was the 11th round of the draft where Mojo was chosen, and he would proceed to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal the following year in 2017.
We recently announced that Mojo will be a new co-host of TMZ Sports which airs every weekday on FS1.
